A comparison of MMPI profile types with corresponding estimated MMPI-2 profiles.
Changes in mean elevation, dispersion, overall configuration, and code type of well-defined MMPI profiles were examined after transformation to estimated MMPI-2 profiles. A total of 34 MMPI profiles from both Gilberstadt and Duker (1965) and Marks, Seeman, and Haller (1974) were analyzed using contemporary MMPI-2 T-scores. Results yielded a reduction in mean elevation and both increases and decreases in scatter about the mean upon transformation to MMPI-2 norms. The total configuration of linear MMPI and estimated MMPI-2 T-score profiles correlated highly with each other and manifested a similar pattern of correlation with the total configuration of Skinner and Jackson's (1978) three modal MMPI types.
